Hi, We're running into an issue when using libcurl (and curl). If the root folder of an FTP server denies access for security reasons and we want to directly connect to a different folder, this fails with a 550 Permission Denied. This is happening because curl is still making an initial connection to "/", and then calls cd to change to the requested folder. Here is a log snippet of what we're observing:
00000054 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.489043 0x0000389c I [INFO] Re-using existing connection with host 192.168.1.10 00000055 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.489043 0x0000389c G [HEADER OUT] CWD / 00000056 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.494092 0x0000389c G [HEADER IN] 550 Permission denied 00000057 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.494092 0x0000389c I [INFO] Server denied you to change to the given directory 00000058 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.494092 0x0000389c I [INFO] Connection #0 to host 192.168.1.10 left intact 00000059 2025-Oct-02 07:56:53.494092 0x0000389c R res=9 Is there a way to make a connection directly to the requested folder without curl first connecting to the "/"? Evidently, this works when using certain Java APIs such as org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient. Thanks, Nimit
